Luddite

We don't have a TV or any kind of gaming system, so I was surprised to hear from my five-year-old's teacher that he talks about video games every day at school.  Every day.  OK, not surprised really.  Both of their grandmothers have a Wii and the boys LOVE to play.  And they do watch movies or play games on the computer, but it isn't a daily occurrence (except when Mommy is dying of morning sickness - then the computer is our best friend.)  So it was a little embarrasing for his teacher to think that all we do is play Super Mario Brothers, because that is all he talks about.  

But the fact that they are obsessed with video games?  Yeah, I knew that already.

This is the kids and all their stuffed friends playing video games at our house.

This is what they were looking at.  

And it kept them entertained for a good twenty minutes.  

And this is what happens instead of Saturday morning cartoons.

Not really better if you're going for non-violent/non-slapstick comedy.  

Mostly I'm going for giggles.
